delay wipers not washing

[font color=red size=2]I recently put delay wipers on my 73 F100, like the tech article describes. They came off a '81 Bronco. The delay works great, I would recommend them to anyone - very easy swap. However, my washers don't work now. They do work with the old switch, but not with the new one. Is there some rewiring that I need to do? Or is the "new" switch bad?

Fix one problem - cause another...

Marty anything can fail, use a test light to see if there is power to the switch and power out. It shouldn't be a tuff fix.

[font color=red size=2]Thanks John... I'm sorry to say, that thought never entered my mind - it's working kinda slow today. Tonight I'll have to poke around a little with my test light.

Thanks
